Tracking my journey to better health

And Somehow things Improve August 17, 2009

Tonight I’m trying out Windows Live Writer; saw it on Miss Bender’s blog and thought is sounded nifty. Loving it so far! I really like that while I type the layout looks just like my blog, not just typing in some window without any frame of reference. It also does spell check while you type! Only thing I can’t figure out is getting the post to be sticky without having to go in manually on WordPress to do it.

I’ve mentioned a few times how I’ve been in a bit of a funk and listless. Today was not much better—I slept like shit (undoubtedly from the shit I put in my body yesterday), and was just not in to anything this morning. But, it all turned around when I took my car in for a service and was given this beauty to drive:

Amen! The demons have been exorcised! Amazing how driving a fun car with the top down on a sunny day improves your spirits 🙂 Yee-haw! This lil’ beauty is a 2008 BMW 128i, convertible obv. So fun, so easy, so free spirited. Just what I needed 😉 I love you Jerry (my Rasmussen Service Advisor)!!!

I didn’t do a whole lotta workin’ today. Instead, I took my tired, yet enthused, ass home early and went for a quick, super sweaty cardio date with the stairmill. I didn’t eat breakfast today; Skinny Bitch was in my head, telling me to wait until I was really hungry to eat. That was at 11:30 or so, and was just strawberries and cherries. I also had a nectarine before I worked out.

Lunch was another story. I was hungry, but I ate too fast, and had a little heartburn as a result. It was worth it, tho 😉 1/2 a whole wheat pita stuffed with Romaine, avocado, shredded carrot, sliced grape tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, Nature’s Seasons, and Sabra hummus. (I would insert a pic, but I’m too lazy to get the camera cord out. I forgot to put the memory card back in the camera and the pic is on the internal memory.) Yum!

I followed that up with the other half of the pita, and the rest of the Sabra. Since the hummus is going fast, I opted to make a batch of it for the week ahead. Westbrae garbanzos, Nature’s Seasons, cumin seed, toasted sesame seeds, olive oil, ‘zo juice, dash of vinegar, salt, garlic powder and pine nuts. Mmmmmmy.

Um, yeah, that’s a DQ Blizzard at the end. I was driving all over town to have fun in the car, and somehow ended up at DQ. This time I got a Doggy Cone for Lily, and a Tagalong Blizzard for myself. Oh. my. god. That was one helluva treat! So tasty, so naughty, and so completely unnecessary 😐

I put that on top of dinner tonight, which was a burrito at Fajitas. I kind of got sick of burritos awhile back, and now I’m rather sick of everything else, so a burrito sounded good again. Vegetables, rice, whole beans, verde sauce, olives, jalapenos.

Hm, what else do I have to share with you? Yes, that is a trailer full of shitters there in the middle. Too much to pass up taking a pic!
